Russian Lip Technique
About Russian Lip Technique
Interested in a more defined lip shape? The Russian lip technique uses a vertical injection style that may create a more lifted and heart-shaped appearance. Unlike traditional fillers that focus on volume, this method may help build lip height and contour without overfilling. At Zibella Aesthetics in Woodland Hills, CA 91364, our licensed injectors perform Russian lip filler treatments designed for balance and elegance. Individual results vary. A consultation is required.

What It Is
The Russian lip technique is an advanced filler method that focuses on reshaping the lips into a lifted, doll-like appearance by placing microdroplets of filler vertically into the lip tissue. The goal is to accentuate the cupid’s bow, increase vertical height, and avoid adding excessive outward projection or width. Inspired by the aesthetic of Russian dolls, this approach may offer a more refined alternative to traditional filler styles.
How It Works
During the Russian lip injection method, your injector places small amounts of hyaluronic acid-based filler vertically, starting at the lip border and working upward. This may shorten the philtrum, raise the cupid’s bow, and define the upper lip — without giving a “duck lip” appearance. The filler is usually applied using a needle, not a cannula, to allow for precise shaping. Proper technique and experience are essential for safety and symmetry.
